Ehm, I thought you already announced the "official" dates at
http://foolcontrol.org/?p=1150?
(As you may have noticed on IRC) I'm very surprised, that the date is
still open for discussion.
And I'd at least would have expected that the above mentioned blog
posting (which is still online like it was posted with the original
dates and not the slightest hint that those dates are open for
discussion) will be updated in any case these dates may change.

This would be stll ok for me, but slightly worse than the already
announced dates. Won't be able to attend whole DebConf then.
I'd also expected that a change in dates is mentioned at least
somewhere in the subject of a debconf11-bosnia thread and not hidden
under a thread which just looks like some govt. meeting summary. I
changed the subject accordingly so that maybe some more people become
aware of this unfortunate issue.

I'm _very_ unhappy with these new dates, because in that case I can't
come to DebConf and will probably not come to DebCamp only either. I'd
also have to cancel the holidays I already applied for from 8th to
14th of August. :-(
(Best dates for me would be btw. a week later than the originally
announced dates, because I'd be able to attend both, DebCamp and
DebConf. I'm just not available from 26th to 30th of July. Plus I'll
need probably two days to travel from the middle of France to Banja
Luka on 31.7./1.8.)
Cc'ing Thomas Koch, because I know he also already applied for
holidays (and maybe even already bought train tickets) for the
originally announced dates.
As Thomas wrote when asking when the DebConf 11 dates will be
announced, many were waiting for the dates so that they can apply for
holidays. Now changing the date after the announcement is a very bad
idea for such people. :-(
P.S.: I'm just on the debconf11-bosnia list, not on the debconf-team list.
Kind regards, Axel
